Escher in Het Paleis (Escher in the Palace)
View most of M.C. Escher's prints at Escher in Het Paleis (Escher in the Palace), delve into the world of optical illusions, and see the Impossible Penrose Triangle. Dedicated to the country's most famous graphic artist, the museum features permanent exhibits of mind-boggling pieces fashioned to confuse the human mind. See endless staircases, twisted spaces, giant children, and tiny adults. Highlights include a 7 m (23 ft) long woodcut intended to depict eternity and infinity by deceiving perception; chandeliers shaped like sharks, spiders, and skulls; and infinity mirrors.

Very interesting. The bottom 2 floors describe his work and the top floor houses various illusions using principles of Escher's work. It's okay, but not great for kids. Do something more kid friend before or after

Great manageable size, perfect way to spend 1.5-2hrs. Staff very helpful, including one staff member who joined me briefly for one of the optical illusion activities to make it work as I was visiting alone. The palace itself is also interesting too and the fusion of its history into the visit was an added bonus.
